Can anyone tell me about Bristol, VA?

[Eric Black]

Hello fellow BP'ers.

I have received a lead on a potential property in the town of Bristol, VA. It appears to be a rather small town and not terribly close to any major cities. The property is owned free and clear and the owner will consider owner financing so I would most likely rent the property as it has already been mostly rehabbed.

Just looking for anyone who is familiar with the area who may be able to give me any insight, good or bad. I tried finding a property manager on the NARPM website but there were none listed within 20 miles, so that may be a red flag already.

Thanks in advance!

Eric
